Three way frog

Close up of three way frog

I shudder to think how many people will land here after doing a search for “three way” anything. Sorry to disappoint, but this is a picture of a three way switch.

Not your average three way

This is a close up of the two lapped frogs from yesterday’s picture. Three way turnouts are occasionally referred to as a “lapped” switch, I suppose because there is two turnouts lapped onto each other, creating 3 routes from one.

Click here for a link to a map showing the location of this turnout. The three way turnout will be right in the middle of the screen, on the North tail of the wye. It is pretty hard to spot in this image. By scrolling around the map you can see the massive amount of complex trackwork hidden in the industrial section of Hamilton, Ontario. Thats in Canada.
